The 2019 World Superbike schedule has been released. The provisional calendar confirms that the season kicks off the weekend of February 22, 2019, in Australia at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. Included on the schedule are two dates for official testing; the first being a preseason test and the second a mid-season test. The final round, to be held the weekend of October 24 – 26, will be subject to a schedule change that has the race weekend beginning on Thursday and concluding on Sunday.

Most notably missing from the 2019 schedule is the US round. While the series will not touch US soil in 2019, it may return in 2020. Check out the schedule and comment below.
